Sacha Jones made her first appearance in the Scarbro Caro Bowl for the Sunnyhills Tennis Club in the second round of the competition last Friday. Jones won her singles against Bridget Liddell from Glendowie but surprisingly lost her doubles match. Sunnyhills defeated Glendowie 5-1 with top juniors Paige Hourigan and Kelly Drew scoring singles victories. Parnell defeated defending champs Royal Oak by the same score line with the only loss coming in the top singles when Emily Fanning went down to Leela Beattie in straight sets. Pompallier bounced back after a loss last week to beat Remuera 5-1 while Kohimarama had a bye.
